Testimonials

CHRISTINA BREADEN, WEDDING IN PARIS, FRANCE

Thank you so much for providing wonderful music for our wedding! And for helping with the audio equipment. You guys did a great job feeling the crowd and playing music they liked. It was a night we will never forget!

GEORGIE HAMILTON, UK WEDDING

You guys were EVEN better than we remember! A mega thank you for absolutely smashing it! We were over the moon with your energy, song choices and performance. You created an awesome atmosphere for everyone to thoroughly enjoy themselves. Thanks so much for your brilliant music. It had just the right depth and professionalism for the venue while being super fun. I loved seeing the dance floor so packed! A thank you too for your extreme efficiency before the event. You were a dream to work with – lightening email replies and organisation.

CATIE SHERLOCK, UK WEDDING

Just wanted to say a huge thanks you for Saturday! We really couldn’t have asked for anything better. You absolutely smashed the first dance and the set list was just incredible! We have had so many comments about how you were the best wedding band anyone has ever experienced. We wish we could live it all over again. We really can’t thank you enough!!

JUDITH VEENHUIZEN, WEDDING IN CHIANTI, ITALY

H2NY were phenomenal! Sam was great to work with, he was really flexible and helpful. Their performance was amazing. We asked them to perform an altered version of 500 miles as our first dance song and it was absolutely perfect. They nailed every song, built up their set list to really get the party started and managed to get every one of our guests dancing with us. The whole band had such a positive attitude, even when it started pouring down and it looked like our whole outdoor wedding had to be moved inside last minute they were helping out and looking for solutions. And when we eventually moved back outside they made it all work seamlessly. We cannot thank them enough. They gave us the party we had been hoping for. Saying we highly recommend them doesn’t even begin to cover it.

NATHALIE LEONG, WEDDING IN SIFNOS, GREECE

I have always dreamt of a band for my wedding. Thank you so much Sam and H2NY for making our pre-wedding dinner, the wedding ceremony as well as the party unforgettable. Sam is so professional, flexible and helpful. All the rather difficult logistics went seamlessly. We were looking for a band for our wedding in Greece, to cover 2 days of partying. Sam not only played the piano for our church wedding (including french and latin songs), but H2NY also played jazz on our pre-wedding dinner, as well as party music during the wedding party. You are phenomenal! During the party, you got all our guests dancing, there were songs for everybody’s taste, the saxophonist was incredible playing in the dance crowd, and all the other musicians from the band were also perfect. I didn’t leave the dance floor! Everybody commented on how great you all were. Sam, your voice is amazing! We highly recommend all of you, and I was already asked for your contact details! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making the day such a memorable one.

MELISSA WOOD, UK WEDDING

We just wanted to say thank you very much – you were all absolutely brilliant. You sounded amazing, created the right sort of atmosphere we were looking for and had everyone up on the dance floor. All our friends loved the music – the indie vibe went down an absolute storm! You performed the first dance just as requested and I’ll have great memories of jumping around to Wheatus and Blink 182. We’re so pleased that we booked you as our band – we would highly recommend you to anyone!”

MARRIOTT COUNTY HALL, LONDON (JAMIE SHIPP), CORPORATE EVENT

The band were great and really professional throughout the booking process and on the day. They arrived 2 hours before the set up time and were able to rehearse and get set up with time to spare. Sam and the band were also accommodating by allowing us to use the mic to make some announcements during their break and took some requests for songs during that intermission from some of the guests. During the end of the second set with 15 minutes remaining, the hotel security informed us that there had been some complaints over noise so Sam was able to adjust his set and play quieter to ensure there was no further disturbance. Both sets were made up of great songs that were loved by the guests and many were dancing and singing along. The great reception to some of the tracks prompted the band to then play more from that artist and they tailored the set to what people were enjoying and what was getting a great response. From both a booking and arranging, and performance point of view, H2NY were fantastic and I would happily recommend them in the future.

RAY WILSON, UK WEDDING

It was an absolutely fantastic wedding and the day could not have gone better. Even the snow was a bonus and gave us some spectacular photos, although we hope it didn’t make travelling home too difficult for you all. Can you pass on our sincere thanks to the band for a great job. The music was outstanding, the song choices really worked and we had some lovely feedback on the way you interacted with our guests. Indeed, without exception, our guests thought you were brilliant. Can we also thank you personally for your thorough professionalism, advice and guidance during the planning process – it made it all so much easier and felt effortless. Thank you all once again, and we will certainly have no hesitation in recommending you to others. All the best! Diane & Ray

ROLLO HOARE, UK WEDDING

You guys were absolutely fantastic and kicked-off the evening spectacularly – we could not have been happier. The quality of the music your band produce is phenomenal, and I’m so glad we got the female vocalist as well.

MATT HOWARD-CAIRNS, UK WEDDING

You guys were amazing at the wedding – we’ve had so many comments both at the time and since about how much you guys rocked it! We had a great time!

CHRIS HEPBURN, UK WEDDING

We had a fantastic day! Thank you so much for absolutely smashing the music, we had so much fun dancing with everyone. My wife loved the Chilli Peppers – you guys killed it!

RICHARD MIRFIN, WEDDING IN SICILY

We can’t thank Sam and H2NY enough for helping make our wedding day in Sicily so special, extremely fun and forever memorable! All our guests commented on how insanely good the band was both vocally and at creating a fantastic atmosphere that made everyone want to get up and dance – we would wholeheartly agree! Sam made everything such a joy during the planning stages – so professional and genuinely friendly and and helpful. His solo singing during dinner and our first dance displayed just how talented he is a singer; it was perfect and exactly what we wanted. The band and DJing entertainment post dinner was just as amazing and no one wanted it to end – we would highly recommend H2NY!

SAMSUNG, CORPORATE EVENT

You guys were incredible and we will most definitely be in touch regarding future events.

NICK HEYWOOD, UK WEDDING

We wanted to say thank you so, so much for playing at our wedding yesterday. We can honestly say it was our favourite part of the day and you could not have put together a better set list for us. We both loved it personally and have also had the most amazing feedback about you from our guests, particularly how perfect the sound quality was. Sam, you have an amazing voice and as a band you just gel perfectly. We would have absolutely no hesitation recommending you to our friends and family, but doubt we would need to after yesterday! Hope you enjoyed playing for us and were able to have time to relax in between your sets. It’s a testament to how good you guys are that the barn was full of people dancing away despite the gorgeous weather outside, especially as the venue said the barn can often be empty when the weather is so nice.

ALISTAIR WHITELEY, UK WEDDING

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to Sam and Halfway to New York. They smashed it. A slick, professional and truly lovely bunch of guys.

THOMAS MILLER INVESTMENT, CORPORATE EVENT

We had a post-Ball meeting a couple of days ago and the committee asked me to pass on their gratitude for an excellent performance, so once again, many thanks to you and the band. Absolutely nothing but positives!

THE ANDERSON FOUNDATION, CORPORATE EVENT

Halfway to New York are extremely talented musicians who cover a wide range of genres, and are adaptable to playing in intimate surroundings or to hundreds of guests in a large arena. Their endearing and genuine nature is infectious.
